Summary:
The city of Wittensville, Kentucky has just one public elementary school, W R Castle Memorial Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 401 students. While the school is ranked 295 out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools and has a 3-star rating, its performance on state assessments shows a mix of strengths and weaknesses compared to the broader Johnson County district and the state of Kentucky.
In reading, W R Castle Memorial Elementary School demonstrates a relative strength, with proficiency rates ranging from 42% to 64% across grades 3-6, exceeding the county and state averages. However, in mathematics, the school's proficiency rates, ranging from 33% to 57%, are more variable, with some grades performing above the county and state, while others fall below. Additionally, the school has a high free and reduced lunch rate of over 72%, indicating a significant concentration of economically disadvantaged students.
The data suggests that while W R Castle Memorial Elementary School has some areas of strength, particularly in reading, it also faces challenges in mathematics and serves a high-poverty student population. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to drive more consistent academic success for the school and ensure all students are receiving the support they need to thrive.
